DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the present disclosure, application, or uses. It should be understood that throughout the drawings, corresponding reference numerals indicate like or corresponding parts and features.

The present disclosure relates to roof racks. The roof racks may be mounted on a roof panel of a vehicle. Specifically, the roof racks may be symmetrically mounted on opposite sides of the outer surface of the roof panel of the vehicle.

Hereinafter, forms of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings such that those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure pertains can readily carry out the present disclosure. However, the present disclosure may be implemented in various different forms and is not limited to the forms described herein. In drawings, components irrelevant to the description are omitted for the simplicity of explanation, and like reference numerals denote like components through the entire specification.

FIG. 1 is a view illustrating roof racks mounted on a roof panel of a vehicle. Specifically, in FIG. 1, a roof rack 10 is fixedly installed through a fastening member (not illustrated) in a state in which a rail 11 extending along a lengthwise direction and forming a main body is mounted on a roof 1 of a vehicle.

The roof rack 10 in the related art includes the rail 11, stanchions 12 provided on opposite longitudinal end portions of the rail 11, covers 13, and pads 14. The rail 11 having a uniform cross-sectional shape is extruded of an aluminum material, and the stanchions 12 made of a synthetic resin are injection molded due to the nature of a three-dimensional curved surface shape thereof.

FIG. 2 is a view illustrating a configuration of the roof rack. More specifically, in FIG. 2, the rail 11, the stanchions 12, the covers 13, and the pads 14 of the roof rack 10 in the related art are molded as separate objects and then assembled by a fitting method. However, the method of molding and assembling the separate objects has problems in that manufacturing costs rise and the number of assembly steps is increased. Furthermore, the rail 11 made of an aluminum material may be easily deformed by an external impact due to its low strength.

FIG. 3 is a view illustrating a configuration of an exemplary roof rack in some forms of the present disclosure. FIG. 4 is a detailed exploded perspective view of the exemplary roof rack in some forms of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the roof rack according to the present disclosure includes a main body 100 and a hollow profile 200.

The main body 100 includes a rail 101 and support parts 102. The rail 101 extends along a lengthwise direction and forms a body, and the support parts 102 are provided on opposite longitudinal end portions of the rail 101 in the lengthwise direction. For example, the support parts 102 may be integrally formed on the opposite longitudinal end portions of the rail 101 through injection molding. Specifically, the main body 100 may be simultaneously molded with the hollow profile 200 through insert molding. As the main body 100 and the hollow profile 200 of the roof rack in some forms of the present disclosure are integrally formed by insert molding, the number of processes (assembly/production) may be simplified, and thus manufacturing costs may be reduced. In addition, the roof rack manufactured by insert molding may have a high design degree of freedom and may have a luxurious appearance.

The hollow profile 200 extends along the lengthwise direction and is integrally formed inside the rail 101. The hollow profile 200 has one or more through-holes 210 formed in one surface thereof that faces the roof panel of the vehicle. In other words, the rail 101 may contain a hollow portion extending along the lengthwise direction, and inner surfaces of the rail 101 that form the hollow portion may make contact with the entire area of an outer surface of the hollow profile 200. As the entire area of the outer surface of the hollow profile 200 is brought into contact with the inner surfaces of the rail 101, the strength of the main body 100 may be improved. The hollow profile 200 may have a rod shape having a hollow portion (an interior space) along the lengthwise direction. Furthermore, the length of the hollow profile 200 may be equal to or shorter than the length of the rail 101. Because the hollow profile 200 is integrally formed inside the rail 101 through insert molding as described above, the hollow profile 200 herein may be an insert member.

Meanwhile, the hollow profile 200 may be manufactured by injection molding. For example, the hollow profile 200 may be manufactured by extrusion or drawing. The thickness of the hollow profile 200 is not specially limited and may be variably adjusted depending on a process condition of injection molding.

The through-holes 210 may be mounted on fixing members (fixing pins) provided in an insert molding apparatus (e.g., an injection mold). The molding position of the hollow profile 200 in the insert molding apparatus may be arranged and fixed by the through-holes 210. As the through-holes 210 are mounted on the fixing members provided in the insert molding apparatus, the hollow profile 200 may be prevented from being separated from the initially set molding position by a flow of a moldable material, and thus an insert defect rate may be minimized. For example, two or more through-holes 210 may be symmetrically formed on opposite longitudinal end portions of the surface of the hollow profile 200 that faces the roof panel of the vehicle.

In some forms of the present disclosure, the rail 101 may have an opening in a partial area thereof, the hollow profile 200 may be exposed to the outside through the opening, and a covering member 600 may be mounted in the opening to cover the hollow profile 200. For example, the covering member 600 may have a different color from the main body 100, or may have an LED mounted thereon, to contribute to upgrading the design of the roof rack. Specifically, the covering member 600 may be a garnish.

In some forms of the present disclosure, the roof rack may further include stoppers 400 coupled to the through-holes 210. Although the through-holes 210 contribute to fixing the position of the hollow profile 200 in an injection molding process, the through-holes 210 may correspond to vulnerable parts of the appearance of the final product. As the stoppers 400 are coupled to the through-holes 210, the stoppers 400 serve to hide the vulnerable parts of the appearance of the roof rack. The stoppers 400 coupled to the through-holes 210 may be located to face the roof panel of the vehicle, and thus appearance vulnerability of the roof rack due to the stoppers 400 does not occur.

The roof rack in some forms of the present disclosure may further include a cap 300 mounted on at least one of the opposite longitudinal end portions of the hollow profile 200 and disposed inside the main body 100. For example, the caps 300 may be mounted on the opposite longitudinal end portions of the hollow profile 200 to seal the interior space of the hollow profile 200. The hollow profile 200 may be insert-molded, with the caps 300 mounted on the opposite longitudinal end portions of the hollow profile 200. As the caps 300 are insert-molded in the state of being mounted on the opposite longitudinal end portions of the hollow profile 200, the caps 300 may be disposed inside the main body 100 and may not be visible from outside the roof rack. As the caps 300 seal the interior space of the hollow profile 200, the caps 300 serve to inhibit the moldable material of the rail 101 from being introduced into the interior space of the hollow profile 200 during insert molding. Furthermore, the size of the caps 300 may be greater than the diameter of the hollow profile 200. Here, the size of the caps 300 refers to a length in the longest dimension. As the caps 300 are formed to have a size larger than the diameter of the hollow profile 200, a coupling force between the main body 100 and the hollow profile 200 may be improved, and thus the hollow profile 200 may be prevented from being separated from the main body 100 when an external impact is applied. Furthermore, the caps 300 may contribute to improving the settlement of the hollow profile 200 in the insert molding apparatus during insert molding.

FIG. 5 illustrates the conventional roof rack and a cross-section of the rail 101 when the roof rack is cut with cutting plane A-A. FIGS. 6 to 8 illustrate cross-sections of the main body when the exemplary roof rack in some forms of the present disclosure is cut with cutting plane A-A illustrated in FIG. 5.

Unlike the conventional roof rack, the hollow profile 200 of the roof rack according to the present disclosure may be implemented in various cross-sectional shapes through extrusion or drawing. For example, the hollow profile 200 may have a circular cross-section (refer to FIG. 6) or a grid-shaped cross-section (refer to FIGS. 7 and 8).

In some forms of the present disclosure, the hollow profile 200 may include at least one rib 110,210 such that the interior space is divided into at least two spaces along the lengthwise direction. The interior space of the hollow profile 200 may be divided into two, three, four or more spaces depending on the number of ribs 110,210. In this case, the hollow profile 200 may have a grid-shaped cross-section.

Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, the roof rack in some forms of the present disclosure may have a straight rib cross-section when one rib 110 is formed and may have a cross rib cross-section when two ribs 110,210 are formed to cross each other.

Specifically, the ribs 110,210 may extend along the lengthwise direction of the hollow profile 200 and may be connected to inner surfaces of the hollow profile 200 across the interior space of the hollow profile 200 along a width or height direction of the hollow profile 200. As the ribs 110,210 are connected to the inner surfaces of the hollow profile 200 across the interior space of the hollow profile 200, the strength of the hollow profile 200 may be improved. The ribs 110,210 may be integrally formed inside the hollow profile 200 by drawing, and the cross-section of the hollow profile 200 including the ribs 110,210 may have a grid shape.

In some forms of the present disclosure, the hollow profile 200 may include a first rib 110 that extends along the lengthwise direction of the hollow profile 200 and that is connected to the inner surfaces of the hollow profile 200 across the interior space of the hollow profile 200 along the width direction and a second rib 120 that extends along the lengthwise direction of the hollow profile 200 and that is connected to the inner surfaces of the hollow profile 200 across the interior space of the hollow profile 200 along the height direction.

The first rib 110 and the second rib 120 may be connected to the inner surfaces of the hollow profile 200 in the state of being disposed at a right angle. The term “right angle” used herein may be used as a meaning including an angle of 60° to 120° as well as 90° that is a mathematical concept. The first rib 110 and the second rib 120 may be integrated with each other to form a cross rib. The interior space of the hollow profile 200 including the first rib 110 and the second rib 120 may be divided into four spaces.

In some forms of the present disclosure, the roof rack may further include pads 700 provided between the support parts 102 and the roof panel of the vehicle. The pads 700 may function to prevent surfaces of the support parts 102 that face the roof panel of the vehicle from making direct contact with the surface of the roof panel of the vehicle, thereby minimizing damage to the surface of the roof panel of the vehicle and suppressing occurrence of noise due to aerodynamic force and assembly clearance. The support parts 102 and the pads 700 may be fastened with each other through various fastening members, or may be assembled together by a fitting method.

In some forms of the present disclosure, the roof rack may further include covers 500 that cover the support parts 102. The covers 500 may serve to hide vulnerable parts of the appearances of the support parts 102, and the shape of the covers 500 is not specially limited.

In some forms of the present disclosure, the rail 101 may have an opening in a partial area thereof, the hollow profile 200 may be exposed to the outside through the opening, and the covering member 600 may be mounted in the opening to cover the hollow profile 200. For example, the covering member 600 may have a different color from the main body 100, or may have an LED mounted thereon, to contribute to upgrading the design of the roof rack. Specifically, the covering member 600 may be a garnish.

In some forms of the present disclosure, the main body 100 and the hollow profile 200 of the roof rack may be formed of the same material, and the material may be a resin composite. As the main body 100 and the hollow profile 200 of the roof rack in some forms of the present disclosure are formed of the resin composite, the roof rack has an advantage of being made light, compared to the conventional roof rack made of an aluminum material.

Specifically, the resin composite may contain a thermoplastic resin and fiber. Any resin capable of being applied to injection molding may be used as the thermoplastic resin without any special limitation. For example, the thermoplastic resin may include at least one selected from the group consisting of polyethylene (PE), polyamide (PA), polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephtalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and combinations thereof. The thermoplastic resin may preferably be a PA resin, and more preferably a PA6 (nylon6) resin.

Any fiber capable of being used together with a thermoplastic resin to implement excellent strength may be used as the fiber without any special limitation. For example, the fiber may include at least one selected from the group consisting of glass fiber, carbon fiber, synthetic fiber, and natural fiber, and may preferably be glass fiber.

In an form, the resin composite may contain 5 wt % to 80 wt % of fiber. Specifically, the resin composite may contain 10 wt % to 75 wt % of fiber, 15 wt % to 70 wt % of fiber, 20 wt % to 65 wt % of fiber, 25 wt % to 60 wt % of fiber, 30 wt % to 55 wt % of fiber, 35 wt % to 50 wt % of fiber, 10 wt % to 70 wt % of fiber, 15 wt % to 65 wt % of fiber, 20 wt % to 60 wt % of fiber, 25 wt % to 55 wt % of fiber, 15 wt % to 75 wt % of fiber, 20 wt % to 75 wt % of fiber, 20 wt % to 70 wt % of fiber, 20 wt % to 75 wt % of fiber, 25 wt % to 80 wt % of fiber, 30 wt % to 70 wt % of fiber, or 35 wt % to 70 wt % of fiber.

Furthermore, the resin composite may additionally contain glass bubble for lightweight of the main body 100 and the hollow profile 200. For example, the resin composite may additionally contain 5 wt % to 40 wt % of glass bubble, 10 wt % to 35 wt % of glass bubble, or 15 wt % to 30 wt % of glass bubble.

In some forms of the present disclosure, to implement desired properties of the parts constituting the roof rack, the type of thermoplastic resin, the type of fiber, and the fiber content may be appropriately selected within the above description.

Specifically, the main body 100 of the roof rack may contain a first resin composite. The first resin composite may contain a PA resin and glass fiber. The first resin composite may contain 10 wt % to 75 wt % of glass fiber, 15 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 65 wt % of glass fiber, 25 wt % to 60 wt % of glass fiber, 30 wt % to 55 wt % of glass fiber, 35 wt % to 50 wt % of glass fiber, 10 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber, 15 wt % to 65 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 60 wt % of glass fiber, 25 wt % to 55 wt % of glass fiber, 15 wt % to 75 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 75 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 75 wt % of glass fiber, 25 wt % to 80 wt % of glass fiber, 30 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber, or 35 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber.

Furthermore, the hollow profile 200 may contain a second resin composite. The second resin composite may contain a PA6 resin and glass fiber. The second resin composite may be the same as, or different from, the first resin composite. For example, the second resin composite may contain 10 wt % to 75 wt % of glass fiber, 15 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 65 wt % of glass fiber, 25 wt % to 60 wt % of glass fiber, 30 wt % to 55 wt % of glass fiber, 35 wt % to 50 wt % of glass fiber, 10 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber, 15 wt % to 65 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 60 wt % of glass fiber, 25 wt % to 55 wt % of glass fiber, 15 wt % to 75 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 75 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 75 wt % of glass fiber, 25 wt % to 80 wt % of glass fiber, 30 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber, or 35 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber.

In particular, in the case of the hollow profile 200, it is important to appropriately select the type of fiber and a fiber content depending on a process condition, for example, extrusion or drawing. For example, when the hollow profile 200 is manufactured by extrusion, the second resin composite may contain glass fiber in the form of short staple fiber or long staple fiber. The second resin composite used for extrusion may contain 10 wt % to 75 wt % of glass fiber, 15 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 65 wt % of glass fiber, 25 wt % to 60 wt % of glass fiber, 30 wt % to 55 wt % of glass fiber, 35 wt % to 50 wt % of glass fiber, 10 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber, 15 wt % to 65 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 60 wt % of glass fiber, 25 wt % to 55 wt % of glass fiber, 15 wt % to 75 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 75 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 75 wt % of glass fiber, 25 wt % to 80 wt % of glass fiber, 30 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber, or 35 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber. Furthermore, when the hollow profile 200 is manufactured by drawing, the second resin composite may contain glass fiber in the form of continuous fiber, and the second resin composite may contain a glass fiber content that is the same as, or different from, that in the extrusion method. For example, the second resin composite used for drawing may contain 10 wt % to 75 wt % of glass fiber, 15 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 65 wt % of glass fiber, 25 wt % to 60 wt % of glass fiber, 30 wt % to 55 wt % of glass fiber, 35 wt % to 50 wt % of glass fiber, 10 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber, 15 wt % to 65 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 60 wt % of glass fiber, 25 wt % to 55 wt % of glass fiber, 15 wt % to 75 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 75 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 75 wt % of glass fiber, 25 wt % to 80 wt % of glass fiber, 30 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber, or 35 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber.

In some forms of the present disclosure, the cap 300 may contain a third resin composite, and the third resin composite may contain a PA resin and glass fiber. The third resin composite may be the same as, or different from, the first and second resin composites described above. The third resin composite may contain 10 wt % to 75 wt % of glass fiber, 15 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 65 wt % of glass fiber, 25 wt % to 60 wt % of glass fiber, 30 wt % to 55 wt % of glass fiber, 35 wt % to 50 wt % of glass fiber, 10 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber, 15 wt % to 65 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 60 wt % of glass fiber, 25 wt % to 55 wt % of glass fiber, 15 wt % to 75 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 75 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber, 20 wt % to 75 wt % of glass fiber, 25 wt % to 80 wt % of glass fiber, 30 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber, or 35 wt % to 70 wt % of glass fiber.

The present disclosure also relates to a vehicle. The vehicle includes roof racks mounted on a roof panel thereof. Repetitive descriptions of the roof racks identical to ones given above are omitted.

In some forms of the present disclosure, by molding the rail, which extends along the lengthwise direction and forms the body, and the support parts, which are provided on the opposite longitudinal end portions of the rail in the lengthwise direction, into one body through injection molding and integrally molding the hollow profile having the at least one through-hole formed in the surface facing the roof panel of the vehicle, the roof rack has advantages of increasing strength, achieving lightweight and cost savings, and arranging and fixing the molding position of the hollow profile during insert molding and thus minimizing an insert defect rate.

Hereinabove, although the present disclosure has been described in some forms of the present disclosure and the accompanying drawings, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, but may be variously modified and altered by those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure pertains without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure claimed in the following claims.
